2023 RIMS and RIMS Reports Wishes – Part 3

This poll has ended (since 2 months).

23-187 AGENCY SUBPOENAS. Currently, Agency Subpoenas recipients receive a RIMS Mail that they have a subpoena. We are requesting you to allow the agency to configure if they would like other groups or RIMS Users to receive notifications as well. This is not based on an individual subpoena, but Agency Subpoenas as a whole. For us, this would be primarily for the Supervisors to be made aware of subpoenas issued to their staff, but with-it being agency configurable, the agency could have the notice sent to any number of people they choose. The RIMS Mail would need to include the same information the current RIMS Mail contains with the addition of the employee’s name that the subpoena is for.

23-188 Ability to attach state messages to a person in the Person Record screen. For instance, someone that has been entered into the SRF (Probation). Another example is a warrant abstract for a person that may not have been attached to an incident (CAD #). It appears that there is one other field you can have the ability to attach state messages to. Plus, it would clear up my OCD with it being an even number of options to attach.

23-190 This wish pertains to abstracting a warrant from the warrant screen. On page 1 of the warrant screen there is a check box under the bail amount that states "No OR". Our wish is, when this box is checked to have the words "No OR" copy over to the abstract

23-195 Make a pop-up/acknowledgement screen pop-up when accessing another agencies case on multi agency RIMS. This is ideal when reviewing a person record and opening cases. We currently open our partner agency’s case(s) by mistake, and start looking it over thinking it is ours. We would like the pop-up to be similar “Do not release alert box that pops up”.

23-196 Rather than having a free field text box for the judges name, we would like to see that field as a dropdown option that each agency can preset the names of judges. The values could be activated and inactivated as needed by admin. Similar to the warrant "Status" field box.  This would apply to Agency Subpoenas, Warrants, etc.

23-208 For Stop Data: It would be great if you did not have to go between the blue "transfer stop data" area and the history area to find errors, fix and then go back to another page to the stop with the error and click it and transfer. If you only have one or two to fix it is not a problem, however when you have more than ten, it is time consuming and cumbersome to go between screens and try to find what you are looking for. Please streamline this process.

23-222 Being able to set individual reminders for incidents and cases. I know sergeants have this feature for when they are at the stage of approval. Sgt Boyle has done that but I don't have the option to set a reminder. For code enforcement and animal bite reports it requires allot of follow up and if we can set it on RIMs where it sends notifications to RIMs then that would be very helpful. Thanks!

23-236 Oregon NIBRS - Replace the M/F column on Page 1 of Cases with another Code column.

23-237 Public Records Requests: display multiple records for the same case number. Currently, if you search the PRA log by case number, the screen stays on the main PRA screen as if that PRA doesn't exist, but it's because there are multiple PRA entries associated to the same case number.

23-238 Karpel Interface/Transfer - As attachments are exported to the DA's office via Karpel, have the attachment change colors to indicate it's been transferred. This is similar to when stop data is transferred, the line item turns green in the log table. Being able to view the Attachments page and quickly see what's been shared would be much quicker than going through the Audit Trail.

23-243 When multiple cases are open at the same time and the attachment display for a case is open and the attachment display for another case needs to be opened the following error message is displayed: "Attachment screen is already showing. Close that one first." The attachment display for the case a that needs to be closed is buried behind the other display screen making it difficult to find. This also happens when multiple cases are open and one of the cases needs to be closed, the following error message is displayed: "Close narrative display first". The narrative that needs to be closed is buried behind the other display screens making it difficult to find. We would like for the display screen that needs to be closed be brought to the forefront for ease of closing. We would like this to apply to all display screens.

23-264 Tag Person feature - The ability to have the feature alert a specific RIMS user instead of it alerting the user creating the tag, i.e., a dispatcher or crime analyst entering the tag for a detective, but allow the notification to be sent to the detective and not the dispatcher or crime analyst. Also, (we hope this is not considered its own wish) allow for RIMS users with the SUPE and above security to remove a Person Tag from the Person Record.

23-267 Officer Safety Flag - When the flag shows up in the Person Record, instead of the text pulling from the first few characters within the Text box, have it list the Officer Safety Category value so that we immediately know what type of flag it is and do not have to memorize the flag value based off the associated color. For example, a red Officer Safety Flag equals "hostile towards LE" and when it appears in the person's file it is red with the title "hostile towards LE."

23-271 USE CASE: LLNL uses case status and Disposition fields as indicators for who needs to review the case. This requires the person reviewing the case to manually change the field to trigger the next person for review
WISH: Agency specific case routing workflow. Customizable routing feature. We would like a linear way to force a routing chain. Some tool to moderate and make sure that each office gets a chance to see the case before it can be closed out. Currently, we use “Disposition” and ask them to move it along to the next office.
